Yep, that's exactly how it happened :D "Recent events dealing with war, death, or tragedy" Funny enough, Mass Effect isn't actually based in reality. Not that CZcams moderators would know the difference.
Was worth the wait, I could never be able to do that so thank you very much I’ll soon share my orchestral arrangement of these piano versions I won’t forget to mention you because without you it would’ve been impossible, I could even say that... I was lost without you (lmao)
"It's been a long journey, and no one's coming out without scars. But it all comes down to this moment. We win or lose it all in the next few minutes... make me proud. Make yourselves proud." - Commander John/Jane Shepard, 2185
"They started a war but we're not here to finish it. We're here to make them regret - to show them and everyone else what happens when you go to far. No more running; no more waiting. Let's hit them where they live."
I would argue that the first time through ME3 was very impactful. It was only until you play it again with a different ending did that impact drop off. Allies dying off, planets you visit are barren wastes. You think that the crucible will fix it all. Then Ghost Boy. I honestly thought Shepard was hallucinating the entire ending. I believe that is the ending most of the writers wanted but EA didn't like it. EA doesn't do subtle so they tried to sell the idea it was real but honestly even in their extended ending there is plenty of reason to believe Shepard was hallucinating most of it.
I've played the trilogy thrice so far. ME3 final push to the beam is still my favourite. Though the ending was questionable, the atmosphere and the sheer responsibility carried by Shepard are so wonderfully conveyed. Allied fleet checking in, saying farewell to your mates and the last stand while banshees and brutes pour through...always hit me hard. I always choose destroy, so imagining Shepard's eventual reunion with their lover is really bittersweet. ME2 suicide mission never felt that high stakes to me. Maybe because it's the middle game of a trilogy. Even on my first run, I had no casualties without looking up. On the other hand, Shepard triumphantly emerging from the rubble in ME1 still gives me goosebumps.
@@thegreatpineapple4425 I feel the same. As much I love the Suicide Mission, the fact I never lost a crewmate there makes it less impactful than ME3 final push to me.
@@adrielic_ The writers also wrote themselves into a corner thanks to suicide mission. Anyone could die. This is the real reason why Miranda, Jack, Thane etc get only cameos in ME3. Their mortality made writers focus on those who had higher chances of making it alive. Even Garrus and Tali weren't exceptions. _This_ is the root cause of why some felt like Liara was "forced" in ME3. Suicide mission is a great idea, just not fit for the second game of a trilogy.
@@thegreatpineapple4425 Yeah. I'm aware of that. I also agree it would work better in the third game. One thing that """ruined""" for me is: you either have to be stupid enough to make crewmates do stuff they're clearly not good at, or rush through the entire game and don't do loyalty quests nor upgrade the Normandy, for people to die. For most of the players, like me, it just feels like an epic mission, but not as suicide as the game portraits. Anyway, it's an awesome ending, and ME2 is insanely good, regardless.
Same. It blew my mind on my first playthrough, still is one of the best gaming moments i ever had. I can't wait to see that cutscene in the remastered version.
“I have to lose them in the debris field!” “Our Barriers are not designed for impact with debris that size.” “Then it’s a good job we upgraded, hold on everyone here we go!”
"The Collectors aren't just a threat to you or me. They're a threat to everyone in this galaxy. That's the scale of what we're fighting. We will win or lose it all in the next few moments. Make me proud, make yourselves proud."
It is actually crazy. I just recently re completed the mass effect series you know for the nostalgia. I then thought to myself: "would be awsome if someone would make a piano cover of the many songs in that game." Well here I am amazed of the quality and skill at wich you did exactly that. Words can not describe how awsome these pieces are. Thank you for all of your effort. This is awsome
One of the most iconic scenes in all of gaming with a badass soundtrack is getting a cover played by the best pianist I've ever heard of. Is this early Christmas?
We don't know how many the Collectors have stolen. Thousands, hundreds of thousands. It's not important. What matters is this: Not. One. More. That's what we can do here, today. It ends with us. They want to know what we're made of? I say we show them, on our terms. Let's bring our people home.
Its amazing that Mass Effect has made it's way to 2020 I hope more people fall in love with the series! Also hella great work it got me in the mood to continue playing Mass effect 💙💙💙
You’ll be happy it was on PS plus then, as I had not ever played it until a couple months ago because it was free. I see why so many people liked it now, great worldbuilding and interesting characters, though you mass effect fans get a little carried away when it comes to the romances 🗿
Just gotta say, I was there when your piano cover for Skyrim main theme came out and it was the first piece I attempted on piano and 8 years later it’s nostalgic to listen to, your cover is responsible for me getting into piano so thank you. All the best!
I only recently finished a complete trilogy playthrough and just hearing a few of these tunes makes me want to try again. They weren't perfect games, but the feeling created by the series as a whole can't be beat.
I don’t comment much on CZcams, but this is the greatest piano iteration of a gaming song I’ve seen. I’ll never reach this level of skill lol. I. Awe with this performance. It’s absolutely amazing seeing a piece like this be perfected by a piano
The original has the effect of giving me an adrenaline rush every time it starts up, and this version did the same. Fantastic work! It was well worth the wait!
"The Collectors, the Reapers, are not a threat to us, they are a threat to everything, to everyone, that is why we fight, this is what is at stake. It has been a long journey and no one will come out without scars, but it all boils down to this moment, in the next few minutes we will win or lose everything. Make me proud of you, make yourself proud of yourself." Cit. Commander Shepard
I just started to learn to play piano and want to learn this soundtrack, but man, my brain is already exploding at the beginning :( already learned the mass effect 3 end melody (was pretty easy) but I think this melody is unreachable for me... You play awesome, keep going, so will I.
Legit cried when Legion died. I litteraly went to the next part of the base and demolished like 20 collectors with a M-920 Cain out of anger. Still can't forget this happening years ago. Edit: Yes I was young when this happened, it's normal to have a "favourite character".
Hey, do you want some stupidly hard orchestral video game OSTs to cover? No? Well, "Lost Planet 2" main theme and sub theme are good one! Also this arrangement is absolutely beautiful. I remember the whole game clear as day and this brings it back so hard
God. I still freak out every time I playthrough the suicide mission. I always know that I know how to keep everyone alive, but I'm always still so worried that we're gonna lose someone.
You wanna know something crazy? I've mastered The Suicide Mission. I know everything that has to happen to get perfect ending (Max out ship and crew affinity, send Tali through the vents, have Tali and Mordin at all times ect). But even with all that, with the entire mission boiled down to a number of check lists, I still don't skip the cutscenes. I still hold my breath. I still cross my fingers. Because even though there's a 100% chance of a perfect run, I'm still worried someone wont make it back. And that just shows how amazing this game is.
You send tali cause she has a low defensive rating? I always sent Legion because, in my head, IRL he would be far more effective under the stress, harm, and pressure of the situation, not having to deal with an environmental suit etc.
@@Anonie324 As I said, it all comes down to a checklist. Sending Legion works just as well as sending Tali, but I like the "I got set on fire" line in Mass Effect 3.
@@CyberController- True enough. I didn't realize that Miranda actually can succeed as the fireteam leader even if she isn't loyal, which, technically speaking, makes her the best choice for it because Garrus's ridiculously high defensive score really helps with holding the line (Not that I wouldn't complete her loyalty mission). Pity that, because I like to give Garrus the job because he needs more leadership experience and because he is a more comforting choice to Cerberus-haters like Jack and the other aliens.
@@Anonie324 Here's my strat, works every time. Tali through the vents Garrus on first team Take anyone with you Grunt with crew Jack on shield Miranda on team leader Tali and Mordin with you Fight the Reaper with Tali and Mordin If everyone has max affinity, it should work. You also need the armour plating, shields, and weapon upgrades for the Normandy to survive the trip.

Sir, that's suicide!
Bloody CZcams moderators. Maybe change the title to "The End Run"?
It sound like a death note theme
Guess we'll just have to buy the single on iTunes to show support instead. Oh well. :P

"She's a spacer..."
HOLD OUT FOR THE REMASTERED
Ahhh here we go again
And, for the 1000th time, Jacob will reassure Miranda that Shepard's memory is perfectly fine, but we still have to run a few quick tests...
"We have to give everything, even if that means our lives. We will stop at nothing. We will fight for the lost."
Well from past experiences with Your work, it will be well worth the wait, Thank You for sharing this beautiful music with us all.
We fight or we die
Ok. I got it. Let the great replay of the mass effect trilogy begin!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Arbiter Of Truth It's not. You'll get the line if you lose people from the crew before Shepard says this.
This piano arrangement was particularly challenging to create and perform, so my apologies for the long wait. Hope you enjoy the result!
Thank You! :)
So excited for this!
"You did good son. You did good. I'm proud of you."

You did AMAZING. I think Jack would be impressed, honestly
As someone who first played the entire ME Trilogy just 3 months ago, this video is giving me both PTSD and immense joy.
me too (excluding 1, I can't find it for ps3)
The PTSD from ME is hard af
i literally had around 7 different heart attacks trying to keep everyone alive during my first playthrough
I unfortunately lost tali and mordin on my very first playthrough😂
@@JC19171 THOSE ARE 2 OF THE BEST CHARACTERS HOW CAN YOU DO THAT TO THEM
@@thesenate9564 I didn't mean too😂 I left them to fight the collectors whilei fought the human proto reaper and they died

The feels. The memorys .The loyalty. The reach.The strength. The love. The flexibility.
As much as I love the other games in the series too, the Suicide Mission is by far the apex of the series. The feels, the tension, the stakes.

Stand amongst the ashes of a trillion dead souls, and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.
When faced with extinction, any and every alternative is preferable... even if it means becoming worse than the threat that sought your extermination
They have EARNED the right to try!
One man's honor is anothers failed attempt at order.
Funny enough this is a ME3 quote
*grabs spirit box* Yeah, we have the means to actually ask them, Javik.
''Does this unit have a soul?'' -Legion
No. "Shoot it three times in the chest"
No. Geth must burn in hell for all their crimes.
Yes. It does.
Yes 💛
Yes. Yes you do Leigon.
I love the crescendo when the Normandy flies out of the Collector base, sends chills down my spine.
Same. It blew my mind on my first playthrough, still is one of the best gaming moments i ever had. I can't wait to see that cutscene in the remastered version.

“I have to lose them in the debris field!”
“Our Barriers are not designed for impact with debris that size.”
“Then it’s a good job we upgraded, hold on everyone here we go!”
or worse... blam... and there goes Thane...

Jack Wall was the best composer in the ME Series OSTs, it's sad he didn't return for ME3
I agree, however we had some very nice OST in ME3 also ^^
I've been saying this every day since getting the soundtracks!!
@@victorcaillat7218 It wasn't as epic. Just really sombre, which I guess they were going for. I hope we get another Suicide Mission type theme in ME4.

My daughter has 8 years old and can't stop watching this video. I think is magic too. I going to suscribe for her. Amazing covers.
I got stressed out listening to this. Greatest mission in gaming history IMO.
The best ending to a video game ever, with the best soundtrack to boot! Hard to believe it's been 10 years.

Brace yourself, it's apparently coming Spring 2021!!
yes
And its wonderful
Man, seeing all this community speaking about the most amazing game is so precious to my eyes! ME FOREVER !!!!!!!!
One of the best pieces in the soundtrack! Wonderful!
This is becoming my favourite piano channel to watch. You inspire me!
Most accurate piano cover of 'suicide mission' I have heard.
The original has the effect of giving me an adrenaline rush every time it starts up, and this version did the same. Fantastic work! It was well worth the wait!
onyl 30 seconds in and I already have goose bumps. By far my most favorite game series of all time......sadly followed by the one we don't speak of
3:27 I thought it turned into GOT theme :)
Turning this into a piano cover gives me major Kingdom Hearts vibes.
Люблю Mass Effect и музыку из этой вселенной, круто исполнена данная композиция на пианино, продолжай в том же духе)))
Always makes my heartbeat faster, thank you for this
I cant wait!
excellent colour choice for this one!
Thanks! I always appreciate it when someone picks up on the small details 🙌
First time I played the suicide mission I saw my main man Garrus get shot in a cutscene and briefly considered restarting the entire playthrough.
Моё вам почтение и искреннее восхищение вашим трудом. Спасибо. Лайк поставил.😊😊👍👍
